Definitions

• the invention relates to 2-substituted 1,2-benzoisothiazole derivatives, their preparation and use for preparing active ingredients of drugs.
• SSRIs serotonin reuptake inhibitors
• the antidepressant effect has its onset only after treatment for at least 3 weeks, moreover, about 30% of patients are therapy-resistent.
• Blockade of presynaptic serotonin autoreceptors increases, by abolishing negative coupling, the serotonin release and thus the instantaneous transmitter concentration in the synaptic cleft.
• This increase in the transmitter concentration is regarded as the principle of the antidepressant effect.
• This mechanism of action differs from that of previously disclosed antidepressants which activate both the presynaptic and somatodendritic autoreceptors and therefore result in a delayed onset of action only after desensitization of these autoreceptors. Direct autoreceptor blockade bypasses this effect.
• the presynaptic serotonin autoreceptor is of the 5-HT 1B subtype (Fink et al., Arch. Pharmacol. 352 (1995), 451). Selective blockade thereof by 5-HT 1B/D antagonists increases serotonin release in the brain: G. W. Price et al., Behavioural Brain Research 73 (1996), 79-82; P. H. Hutson et al., Neuropharmacology Vol. 34, No. 4 (1995), 383-392.
• the selective 5-HT 1B antagonist GR 127 935 reduces serotonin release in the cortex after systemic administration.
• One explanation might be stimulation of somatodendritic 5-HT 1A receptors in the raphe region by the released serotonin, which inhibits the rate of firing of serotonergic neurones and thus serotonin excretion (M. Skingle et al., Neuropharmacology Vol. 34, No. 4 (1995), 377-382, 393-402).
• the second strategy includes blockade of both types of autoreceptors, namely the 5-HT 1A receptors, in order to enhance neuronal firing, and the 5-HT 1B receptors, in order to increase terminal serotonin release (Starkey and Skingle, Neuropharmacology 33 (3-4) (1994),393).
• 5-HT 1B/D antagonists alone or coupled to a 5-HT 1A receptor antagonist component, ought therefore to cause a greater increase in serotonin release in the brain and might therefore entail advantages in the therapy of depression and related psychological disorders.
